"My mother was a womanizer..." Keener said.

The three listened quietly, and Wen Si patted him on the back from time to time.

It turned out that Lord Rolek was really a promiscuous person as the rumors said, but he was also a cowardly person at the same time. As long as a woman came to him with a child in her arms, he would accept it one by one.Gradually, the cries of illegitimate children filled the house.Although there are many children, Lord Lord treats every child the same, and fulfills every request of them with all his heart.

Louis, like many of the lord's illegitimate children, was kept in a tower with only one bed, sharing a room with other siblings.When meal time came, they were shown to a long table where they ate with numerous servants.Louis was weak and sick when he was young, and he was often left in the room. His bed was next to the window, and he sat on the bed, watching the sky outside the window and listening to the laughter of his brothers and sisters in the yard.Although the lord is promiscuous, he never does anything outrageous in front of children, but that time he really forgot about his frail and sick son.

Louis was 13 years old that year, and the lord's wife happened to take Tanise back to her natal family, so the lord asked his servants to take the children out. Those illegitimate children seldom went out.But Louis just had typhoid fever and lay weak in bed resting.Soon he heard the laughter of a group of women under the tower, he coughed twice, and didn't think too much.But the sound was getting closer and louder, and the sound of messy footsteps sounded in the hall outside the door.Immediately the woman laughed one after another, mixed with the laughter was a strange cry, he didn't understand anything at that time, he just felt his throat was very dry.

He got out of bed and walked to the door, gently opened the door, wanting to find water to drink, but froze the moment he opened the door, what he saw was all the mess and filth between men and many women.

His father was aloft, and among the prostrate women he recognized his mother.

Louis was sure his father hadn't noticed him, but he had been noticed by some women.That day, the laughter and shouts outside the door never stopped, but there was no servant to bring him food. The Lord really forgot about him.At night, he felt a kind of joy that he had never experienced before in a daze. He slowly opened his eyes, and in horror, he saw a white woman in front of him. They were lying on their knees, looking at him like his father. .

He yelled, cried, trembled, begged for mercy...

When he woke up, there was nothing left.He pushed open the door, but there was no laughter outside the door, and there was no woman. The servant said that the lord told him to rest more, but he couldn't listen to anything. He didn't know why a strong force made him push away all those who blocked him.

He walked forward without stopping a step until he collapsed from exhaustion.When he woke up again, he had already arrived in Silver Bow City. He recognized his savior as his father, changed his name from then on, buried the past, and continued to live.

Keener bowed his head in silence, clenched his hands, his knuckles turning white.

Wen Si patted the back of his hand and opened his fingers. He relaxed slowly, raised his head, and continued: "It was his birthday more than half a month before the Lord Lord's body appeared. He suddenly found me, Wanted me to go back, and I said no."

"However," Keener stared at Abner, "when he came to Silverbow City to participate in the Holy Dragon Festival, he didn't recognize me. Of course I didn't want him to come to me again at that time, so I was wondering At the same time, I'm a little lucky. But thinking about it now, it's very doubtful."

Abner frowned, recalling Earl Rolek carefully, but in his own impression, he rarely appeared and was taciturn.

"One thing particularly bothered me," Keener went on, "the night before he died, I was keeping watch, when everyone was asleep, and I saw him come out of his tent and pass by me, Attracted by a weak milk cat in the bushes, said to me 'look at the poor little guy, get me some goat milk'. He said this as if he only thought I was a guard. I He went to get the goat's milk, he put the milk cat in his hand, stroked it, and fed it. Maybe you think it's nothing, but Master Shenniao..."

Keener looked at Abner seriously, and said: "I can swear to the kings, the animal your lord hates the most is cats, especially newborn kittens. A milk cat was thrown into the lake."

Abner was startled, opened his mouth slightly, and said after a long time: "This is really suspicious..."

Keener nodded seriously.

"So, I really think of some strange things. Lord Rolek is really suspicious." Abner took off his coat, threw it to Aureas, jumped on the bed, and rolled over.

Aureas hung up his clothes, and when he turned around, he saw Abner sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at himself, absent-minded and seemingly preoccupied.

Oreas walked over and rubbed his head, he raised his arm, held Oreas' hand, then put the big hand in his hand and played with it repeatedly.

Oreas was silent, watching him tentatively insert/insert his fingers slowly into his own.

"Originally, I really wanted to know the truth, but now for some reason, I suddenly became afraid. I didn't want to know anything..." Abner murmured.

Oreas' fingers suddenly tightened, and his fingers clasped tightly.

Abner felt a warm current rushing from his clinging palm.

"I see, go to bed first." Oreas said softly.

Abner nodded, watching Aureas blow out the candle.

"Go to sleep." Oreas said softly, his golden eyes shimmering.

Abner raised his head and stretched out his arms to Oreas, his whole body glowed in the darkness, like a nebula in the dark night.

Oreas leaned over to embrace him, and he hung on his neck, laughing.

Aureas felt the burning heat of his palm and gently stroked his cheek. He closed his eyes and rubbed his palm like a docile bird.

"Want?" Oreas asked, raising his eyebrows.

Abner opened his eyes, the green eyes that glowed with light contained thick waves, and his voice came out hoarse from his dry throat, "Mmm."

Aureas kissed his forehead and responded tenderly.

The shortest way from Tongzhou Mountain to Duolun Palace is to take a carriage to the largest pier in Blue Spring City, then take a boat to the northwest, and arrive at Qiandiao Wharf in Silver Bow City after a day and a night, then change the carriage, and you can arrive there in half a day Doron Palace.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Oreas suppressed the light on Abner's body.

After Wen Si sent them to the pier in Blue Spring City, he turned around and left in a hurry, and Keener took the rest.

Abner stood at the bow of the ship, watching the desolate atmosphere of the largest pier in Blue Spring City. The sailors who were busy preparing to set sail all lowered their heads and looked hurriedly. Is pale.

Abner closed the door of the cabin to avoid seeing those panicked faces all the time.Keener sat upright at a small square table, frowning, looking at some documents.

Abner walked up behind him and glanced at it, it was about exhuming corpses.

"Any idea?" Abner asked.

Keener shook his head.

Abner sighed lightly.

Keener said: "My lord, you don't have to worry, almost everyone now thinks you are wrong."

"Oh?" Abner raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because there are still heart-digging corpses after you left, and there are no traces of wild animals on or around these corpses, people think that someone deliberately framed you in order to discredit the Apokasseri family. They made great efforts in the war in Quancheng, and now they all talk about the Apocasseri family as a responsible and prominent family, and they will never do such absurd things."

Abner was silent, thoughtful.

Keener looked at Abner strangely, and asked, "My lord, are you unhappy?"

Only then did Abner recover, smiled faintly, and said, "Of course, but now I just want to see my father as soon as possible."

Keena's face froze.

Abner frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jina hesitated for a while, and said, "My lord, I hope you don't feel too sad. Not long after Master Wang Fu calmed down Blue Spring City, he has been in poor health, and now he is bedridden every day."

"What? What happened to my father?" Abner suddenly stood up.

"Master Wang Fu was injured in the war, and was murdered again later."

"Who is it!" Abner clenched his fists.

"It's someone we never thought about." Keener's face paled.

The gate of Duolun Palace opened slowly, and Abner's carriage galloped in, causing the guards to chase after him suspiciously.Kina Lema, who was following the carriage, stopped in front of them and said sharply, "Master Apocassari is back."

"Lord Apocasserie's carriage is clearly still here!" The guard stared at the distant carriage with more suspicion, but due to Keener's status as an honorary knight, he dared not do anything wrong.

Keener glanced at them. "It's Master Abner Apocatheri."

He clamped down on the horse and galloped away, leaving the guards dumbfounded.

"Master Abner Apocasserie is still alive?" the guards were astonished.

"Young master!"

"My lords..."

"!!!"

Abner rushed into the imperial auxiliary building in a hurry, the guards froze immediately, and the servants even screamed, and dropped the things in their hands in fright. At that moment, there was the sound of broken pottery cups and rolling down the stairs... ping, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Come.

"What happened?!" A sharp voice came from upstairs.

Abner looked up and it was his stepmother, Rhea.

A fire rushed up from his chest.

Rhea saw Abner, her face turned pale, her voice stuck in her throat, "O kings..." and then froze.

Abner cast a cold glance at her and rushed up the stairs.

"What are you going to do? Who is this?!"

Rhea hurried to catch up, seeing a strange tall and handsome man blocking her face, her ferocious expression immediately restrained a lot.

Abner turned his head and exchanged glances with Oreas, then ran straight to his father's room.

"Father!"

Abner called and pushed open the door, but a gust of cold wind hit his face, and the room was dark and empty.He stood in front of the door blankly, the dry air smelled of dust.
